Remote mounting LS coils?
Remote mounting LS coils? Hey everyone-
I'm in the middle of my build right now, and I'm looking for some options to mount my LS coils. I was going to have some standoffs welded to my valve covers (Cantons) but the TCS unit, oil fill, and breather will get in the way. Does anyone know of any extension harnesses or remote mounting brackets out there? I found the moroso setup, and they have an extension harness kit, but the description says there are (8) 3 ft. long harnesses. My LS coils are all mounted to the stock bracket and have one harness connector for each bank, so it doesn't seem that the moroso harness kit would work (unless the description is wrong).
Any thoughts?

Update:
Found some good stuff to help me out:
MSD 32079 - DYI 8.5 superconductor wires with LS ends
Moroso 72395 - remote LS coil brackets
Painless 60127 - 24" LS primary coil harness extensions
Good to go!

I would put standoffs under the mount before running them remotely.
You want the shortest distance from coil to plug possible. More length not only adds resistance, but more chances to arc or cause interference with other electronics.
Of course with high quality well shielded wires like the MSDs it would not be an issue, but IMO why risk it.

Here is a kit that will relocate the coils to up under the cowl. I've seen a picture of this and it looks clean. Don't know how difficult it would be to install however.

Verdad Gallardo Wow...talk about an old thread revival.
The way it used to be...Ugly, long-*** wires...
The way it is now! EFI Connection's coils/brackets, DIY MSD's. Much cleaner.

BTW I love those valve covers. Its funny the price of those covers I can justify even tho my stock ones work fine. But the $550 for the coils and brackets that I'll have to have is a hard bill to choke down...
It would probably be better to get some friends/members to also commit, sine he will be more likely to dig out his supplies for a batch of 5 or 10 then just one little cover.
^ I tried to do this, I set up a thread on here and on LTXTech. Unfortunately, nobody was biting at the time. I'm a Manufacturing Engineer, so I'm familiar with the time and cost of tooling setups.
